Thirty percent (30%) of all voters rate race relations in the U.S. today as excellent or good. A Napolitan News Survey found that 36% say fair and 30% claim they are poor.
The survey also found that 71% say they are better today than they were in the 1960s.
As discussed in a recent article, asking about change over a period of time is a difficult subject to get objective data on. That is why, September of 2024, Napolitan News Service chose to ask identical questions to a Harris poll from the 1960's, so they could be used as a baseline. The Harris poll was cited by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Sixty-four percent (64%) of all voters expect race relations to be better in 20 years.
The most recent data cited is from a Napolitan News Service survey of 1,000 Registered Voters conducted online by Scott Rasmussen May 19-20, 2025. Field work for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc. and has a margin of error of +/- 3.1.
